Profiles range from compact accent pieces suited to wall niches and soffit details to large-format medallions designed to serve as ceiling centerpieces or exterior focal points.

Centered above a chandelier, framing an entry, or accenting an arched opening or broad façade.
Give Important Spaces a Point of Emphasis
On interiors, medallions are most commonly installed as ceiling centerpieces above chandeliers or light fixtures, as focal wall accents in foyers and dining rooms, and as decorative details above doorways and mantels. On exteriors, they serve as keystones above arched openings, accent pieces on broad wall surfaces, and ornamental details at gable peaks and entryway surrounds. Because the polyurethane material is lightweight and mounts with the same adhesive and methods used across the entire Diamond Resin Products line, medallions can be placed in locations where plaster or stone alternatives would be impractical due to weight or installation complexity.

The visual detail of traditional ornament without the weight, moisture absorption, and upkeep of plaster or cast stone.
An Alternative to Plaster and Cast Stone
Ornamental details like medallions need to hold their crispness year after year, and that is where high-density polyurethane outperforms traditional plaster and cast stone. The closed-cell, monolithic material will not chip, crack, or erode from moisture and weather exposure the way plaster does, and it will not absorb water and deteriorate like cast stone in humid climates. Medallions contain no VOCs, resist insects, and maintain their dimensional detail without ongoing maintenance. Every profile can be primed or painted with high-quality latex paint, and the textured surfaces accept faux finishes for a custom aged, gilded, or natural stone appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are left and right mirrored medallion profiles?
Some medallion designs are offered in mirrored left (L) and right (R) configurations. These paired profiles are intended for symmetrical placement on either side of a window, doorway, entryway, or other architectural feature to create a balanced, cohesive look.
Where are medallions typically installed on a building exterior?
Exterior medallions are commonly placed as keystones above arched openings, as accent details on broad wall surfaces, at gable peaks, and within entryway surrounds. The lightweight polyurethane material makes them easier to mount in elevated positions than traditional plaster or stone.
How do polyurethane medallions compare to plaster or cast stone?
Plaster medallions are prone to chipping, cracking, and moisture damage over time. Cast stone is heavy and can absorb water in humid climates, leading to surface deterioration. Polyurethane medallions hold their dimensional detail permanently, resist moisture and insects, and require no ongoing maintenance.
What is the largest medallion available in the catalog?
The catalog includes large-format medallions designed to serve as ceiling centerpieces and major exterior focal points. Specific dimensions vary by profile. Contact the Diamond Resin Products team or browse the catalog online to review the full range of sizes available.
Are medallions suitable for use in humid coastal climates?
Yes. The closed-cell polyurethane material is impervious to moisture and will not absorb water, swell, or deteriorate in high-humidity environments. This makes medallions from Diamond Resin Products well suited for coastal residential and commercial projects where traditional plaster and cast stone tend to break down over time.
